Location is right next to a YouBike dock, and Wenshan Forest Park (extremely, extremely convenient).
Also ~2 min walk away from 7-11 (a 24/7 convenience store).
The rooms are well lit than an average Taipei room, I would say.
There's an opportunity to meet people from all walks of life, right within building premises.
The staff at the reception is quite friendly.

The rooms are small (12' x 13') even though a wide angle shot may show it to appear bigger. It has been a personal experience that 2 people in living in the room feels one-too-many people living there.
The shared bathroom can be an issue, despite daily cleaning (by an amazing cleaning staff by the way, thanks team!)-- so I guess you're rolling a dice with who your neighbors are. Same with noise levels.
The issue of soundproofing (also raised by other guests in the comments) is definitely a real one, as you can hear the hallways and lobby door (one near the garbage disposal) almost clearly, and those are disturbing in what is otherwise a very peaceful neighbourhood.
My last dissatisfaction is lack of a proper common space: kitchen, busy and mostly dirty, a "lazy space" dark and right outside common bathrooms, a lobby which is a bit too noisy/busy. Also, almost all the workstations feel slimy/sticky to work on, perhaps due to food being consumed away from kitchen. Perhaps, a no-food-policy would help in reducing that clutter and improving hygiene that everyone has a shared responsibility of.
